Adios Maria

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Beautiful flowers are all that I dream of You don't know what you've got So you want what you can't have I love to laugh at all of the hours All the jokes that I know some way make you sour [Chorus] Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise [Verse 2] New Orleans town on my way up to Austin Dominoes was my game till the day that I lost 'em It's a short road here that goes a lot longer North to south, it's the same, high water will drown ya [Chorus] Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise [Verse 3] There's a man that I know, Hill Country of Texas His name is Ulysses and he's grown to respect us He loves his life so all men who can see it It's a troubled heart and a worried mind that bring you to fear it [Chorus] Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise Adios Maria, I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise
